Method

Brewed Coffee

  1. 1

    Prepare Coffee

    In a coffee maker or French press, add 2 tablespoons of ground coffee to the filter or press. Pour 240ml of hot water over the coffee grounds and let it brew for about 4-5 minutes. Once brewed, pour the coffee into your cup, leaving some space for milk foam.

Milk Foam

  1. 2

    Froth the Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat 100ml of milk over medium heat until it is steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat and use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it doubles in volume and has a thick, creamy texture.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Combine and Serve

    Slowly pour the frothed milk over the brewed coffee, allowing the foam to settle on top. Sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon on top as desired. Add sugar to taste. Serve immediately.
